In conjunction with The Guardian, the artist/actor formerly known as Mos Def, Yasiin Bey released quite the startling (and disturbing) footage of himself undergoing the standard process of force-feeding detainees at Guantanamo Bay. The message he’s trying to convey in the clip is what many Islamic community leaders are calling on the Obama administration to rethink in lieu of the month-long Ramadan fast that beings today (July 8th).

This is kind of a bit much, so for those who would feel away about this I’d suggest you head over to the next post.
